Check out this 3D printed Charleston Class Gunboat! Look at how big it is, erm how small it is! The detail is really getting up there  http://3dprint.com/54161/3-inch-long-3d-printed-ship/  I'm not sure what's cooler, the amount of detail in it or the fact that they made such a rare subject. |

It's not stated what scale this is; 1/700 or smaller? I'm not familiar with this type of gunboat. Is this a single piece printing?

Looks to be about 1:1200. To have an eleven hour print cycle for this on a high end industrial machine would be quite expensive! Eventually such technology will make one question just what is scratch building. Cheers: Tom |

I'm sure in 5 years we'll really be tripping. |

Take a look through Shapeways catalog http://www.shapeways.com/ They've got everything, including the kitchen sink, in any scale you can think of! I'm doing more and more shopping there for 1/48, 1/72, 1/144 figures and all kinds of accessories.
